Euroleon Nostras
''Euroleon nostras'' is a species of antlion found over most of Europe. The scientific name can be translated as "our European ntlion". Adults resemble dragonflies or damselflies and may reach up to long, with a wingspan of . The larvae prey on ants and other small creatures and require dry sandy soil in which to dig their pitfall traps. Description The larva of ''E. nostras'' has large jaws and a broad abdomen. When fully developed, which may take two years, it pupates under the soil, undergoes metamorphosis, emerging a month later as a much larger winged insect. The adult ''E. nostras'' is brown and resembles a dragonfly or damselfly in appearance. It is about long with a wingspan of about . The four large translucent wings are spotted with brown. Distribution ''Euroleon nostras'' has a widespread distribution in Europe, and has been recorded from almost all European countries, its range extending from Spain through Germany to western Russia.

Peter Esben-Petersen (18 December 1869, in Sverup near Silkeborg – 2 April 1942, in Silkeborg) was a Danish entomologist who specialised in world Neuroptera. He was also interested in the Orthoptera, Ephemeroptera and other insects of Denmark. Esben-Petersen was a teacher in Silkeborg. He was associated with the entomological series Danmarks Flora og Fauna. For his scientific work on world fauna he received an honorary degree from the University of Copenhagen. His insect collection is largely conserved in the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, with a part in the Natural History Museum in Aarhus :da:Naturhistorisk Museum).

Myrmeleontidae
The antlions are a group of about 2,000 species of insect in the neuropteran family Myrmeleontidae. They are known for the predatory habits of their larvae, which mostly dig pits to trap passing ants or other prey. In North America, the larvae are sometimes referred to as doodlebugs because of the marks they leave in the sand. The adult insects are less well known due to their relatively short lifespans compared to the larvae. Adults, sometimes known as antlion lacewings, mostly fly at dusk or after dark and may be mistakenly identified as dragonflies or damselflies. Antlions have a worldwide distribution. The greatest diversity occurs in the tropics, but a few species are found in cold-temperate locations, one such being the European ''Euroleon nostras''. They most commonly occur in dry and sandy habitats where the larvae can easily excavate their pits, but some larvae hide under debris or ambush their prey among leaf litter. Antlions are poorly represented in the fossil re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
